To all whom tm/ay concern.'

Be it known that l, JOHN W. Parransoma citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Haven, county of N ew Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented an llmprovement 'in Hose Connections, Vof which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representingl like parts.

,This invention relates to hose connections and Vmore particularly to a device of this character adapted to secure a flexible hose to another member such as a faucet.

reference to the following description of an illustrative embodiment of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. l is a view of' a bath spray attached to a faucet by a connection illustrating my invention; and

Fig. 2 is a section through the connection.

Referring to the drawings, ll have there shown the common type ot' bath room faucet 3 having a mixing chamber 5 from which leads the nozzle 7. l have Vherein shown attached to this nozzle a bath spray which includes a rubber hose 9 at the end ot which is'tle socket il adapted to ht over the nozz e J lo make a tight joint the socket l1v is compressed about the nozzle 7 and tor this purpose l may utilize a ring i3 conveniently ot rubber adapted to embrace the socket ll and constict the, same about the nozzle. Herein "the socket has a wall tapered exteriorly from the end thereof and the ring i3, which may embrace loosely the body ot the hose 9 as indicated in dotted lines, may be .,ushed home along this tapered wall unt1l it binds, the ring being somewhat stretched and resiliently compressing the socket about the nozzle and forming a secure water-tight joint. lt desired the end of the socket may be provided with a beading l My invention will best be understood byf i920. @arial No. 392,210.

so that the ring cannot be accidentally nsep arated from the hose.

My invention provides a convenient and secure meansfor clamping` devices such as bath sprays to faucets. rl`he structure is compact with no loosely dangling arts such as the chains which are common y used in devices of this character to embrace the faucet connections. 'llhe parts may be made entirely of rubber composition or the like as here so that there is no danger ot' scratching an of the fittings of the tub. Not only is the ose firmly held in place but a waterti ht connection is made.

aving described in detail the particular form ot my invention here shown for purpressible tapered socket and a Jfreely ex pansible ring of rubber embracing the same and adapted to be pushed home thereon and to exert by its inherent resiliency a binding action thereon.

2. A hose connection comprising a yieldable rubber socket and a rubber ring closely adapted to said socket and forming by the inherent resiliency of the material an expansible gripping member for resiliently binding said socket to a faucet or llke element received therein.

3. An article of manufacture comprising a rubber hose for attachment to a taucet or the like and having its exterior wall ot greater diameter adjacent the end to provide a flexible socket portion, said socket portion having a terminal bead, and a tluck rubber ringl of less internal diameter than the d1arneter of said bead and fitting loosely the body of the hose adapted to be strained about said socket to' bind it to an inserted faucet or the like.

ln testimony whereof, ll have signed my name to this specication.
